The adventure with The Flag began in autumn 2016 in Jakovlje, when a group of artists gathered around temporary artistic interventions into the garden of the Castle of Adel Sixto. These interventions were organized by Alen Novoselec and named Garden as a creative space.<\/p>\n

I had no idea then where all the inspiration drawn from nature and natural materials would branch out and how invested in it I would become.<\/p>\n

I started collecting leaves in their rich autumnal colorfulness in the sculpture park that surrounds the castle.<\/p>\n

Trees and shrubs were at the same time covered with red, brown, golden yellow and even green leaves.<\/p>\n

While I was arranging the leaves during the winter, I decided to join them into a continuous sheet.<\/p>\n

That is how the 4 meters long and 70 centimeters wide Flag came into existence.<\/p>\n

As an experiment, the following spring I decided to hang the sheet between two birches in Jakovlje and take photos of it.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2017, I participated in an international art project in Vugrovac, where I exhibited the sheet naming it The Flag.<\/p>\n

On a grass podium, hung between pillars, the autumn-colored flag waved for several days until the sun scorched the delicate natural colors of the leaves into a uniform brown, while the wind chipped away at the fragile and brittle dry sheet.<\/p>\n

Having been taken down, it was in my workshop that the dilapidated flag embarked upon its last journey…<\/p>\n

I sliced it into 13 sheets narrow enough to fit into a small graphic press and printed it.<\/p>\n

Graphic imprint of ambient organic installation is my Flag’s last ride, or maybe it isn\u2019t…<\/p>\n

(The Flag is preserved in its original form both in photo and video)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]
